Released in 2014 by Elephant Games and published by Big Fish Games, Return to Ravenhearst is the 9th main entry in the series. Unlike standalone mysteries, this game assumes you have played Ravenhearst (2006) and Escape from Ravenhearst (2012).
Big Fish Games is the original publisher. They offer two purchase models:
When Return to Ravenhearst launched in 2008, it revolutionized the formula. Developed by the internal studio at Big Fish Games, it introduced the concept of "interactive hidden object scenes." No longer were players just spotting items; they had to use items found within the scene to unlock drawers, open safes, and reveal new lists. This layer of interactivity bridged the gap between hidden object games and point-and-click adventure games like Myst or The Room series.
: The game features over 150 detailed scenes and thousands of hidden clues.
– Available as part of the Mystery Case Files bundle or separately.
